ches long had been inflicted on the front
part Of the body just below the ribs, and
that the cartridges had been severed.
Strange to say the wounded man shows
every sign of recovering; he is a powerful
fellow and has evidently q good sound
constitution.
Another case is that of an old woman
living at Buckleys, about70 years of age,
who had some quarrelling on Wednesday
with her grandson. He attacked her with
a stone and inflicted q severe blow on the
head, from which she is now suffering. 1t
was thought necessary today to take her
deposition, which was done by Mr.. Whylam
at the Hospital.
A third case is that of q youth at Marble
Hall, who a day or two ago endeavoured to
attack his Uncle, the Ranger Of the estate,
with a knife. This sort of crime ought to
be put down by the strOng-hand of tue
law.
1t is not to be wondered at however, that
the practice of cutting ones neighbour is
on the increase, when one recOllects the
ridiculOusly light sentence passed on the
Chinaman who SEINE little time ago nearly
killed Mr.. w. w. Malone. He got Q
months Imprisonment; such q sentence is,
under the circumstances, almost a premi-
um ION the commission of crime against the
person.-Antigud Observer.

Crimes Of Violence in Antigua.

The crime of cutting and wounding has
been quite common of late. On tire 9Th
instant a Waterman named James Mathew
was assailed by a man known by the
nickname of Jack, q notorious character
in the grog shops, who ~furinusly attacked
Mathew with a razor. almost cutting off
his head. He cut him In the back Of the
head, the wound extending from the right
to the left ear, to q length Of about nine
inches. Some Of the muscles of the neck
were completely cut through. The wound
ed man was at once taken to DR.. Edwards
who dressed the wound and fixed up the
head (which was drooping forward, so lit

The "Union Ibcro-Americana'' is an
international, scientific, literary, and sta
tlstical society established in Madrid by
some OF the greatest living SpaniarGs of
today, and which is warmly supported
by all the Spanish American governments,
the people, and the press. The IExecu-
tive branch in Madrid has succeeded in
opening up warm and friendly relations
with almost all the Republics of Spanish
America, and in the greater number of
them there are now established societies,
connected with the parent one, and in
which all are freely admitted who pos
seSs literary or social position qualifying
them to become members The executive
committee in Madrid has appointed
Senior IldefOnsO PreciadO its delegate here,
and that gentleman, working lit connec.
ton with II number of others, and with
the warm support of the Governor of the
Department., has issued invitations to a
number OF gentlemen to- Il Injecting to be
held tomorrow, Sunday, in the receptions
room at the Government HouSe-which
has kindly been loaned for the purpose
by the Governor, who is himself u
literateur OF no mean ability.
1t is expected the meeting will be numer-
OuslY attended, and thatit will result in the
establishment of a branch society here on d
firm and satisfactory basis. We trust the
day will arrive when tile Union Ibero
Americana shall occupy its own rooms, and
that within its walls many pleasant literary
reunions may take place, and which, whilst
drawing Spaniards and Spanish Americans
together in pleasant meetings over the glo-
ries of a common literature, teeming with
wealth in prose and poem, may form the
nucleus rOund which other social amenities
may cluster, to the ediication and enjoyment

GOLD MINING ON THE IsTHMUs.

One of the most brilliant enterprI.
ses Yet undertaken on the Isthmus,
and which promises to lead to great
and profitable results, will shortly
attract attention. We allude to lhs
working by Il company formed in
London, under The name of the "Nou-
veau Monde Mining Co."for the pur-.
pose Of working the famous Espiritu
SnntO gold mine, which is centrally
situated in the richest mineral region
of the Isthmus of Darien, aud the
working of which, the richest yet
discovered in Columbia, was COM
menced by the Spaniards prior to-
1880, when the King issued an
edict ordering that the Darien should
be known as lhe"Castlla del Or0"-
Golden CastilIe-because, according
to nviedo, the territory was SO
wealthy, its mines were so numerous
and productive, aud gold was obtain
ed from all the thirty streams which,
had their origin in the range situated
al about two leagues distance from
Santa Maria la Antigua.
The tithes paid the King by the
mines of Cana aloue, and which this
English Company proposes to work,
in the year l7O8 amountedio$216,5OO
and it must be remembered that
tire tools employed were the roughest

The capital of the new company is
R25O.00 or about 81, 100000 gold,
and if necessary tiiS caRi,al will be-
increased. An engineer OF tile COM
pany, a well known mining expert
from Symrna, accompanied BY a we'll
known English engineer, is at present
at the mines, to perfect tire prelimina-
ry details requisite before work can
be commenced, and it is thought

WARRINGTON, Dec. 13.-Seratol
Chandler has introduced bill tc
regulate holding Of coEgIcs sionaI
elections in South Caroline, Florida.
Mississippi and Louisiana. 1t pro,
uides for the appointment By ths
President, with the advice and
consent of the Senate, of four super
visors of election of each congress
sional district in the States 70 which
the measure applies, who are re,
quired to sub-divide districts into a
sufficient number of vo:ing pre-
cinctg. In each precinct circuit
court of the United States is to ap-
point four inspectors and two poll
clerks who are to make a registra-
ton of voters and conduct congress
sional elections. Supervisors are 10
act as canvassing board to receive
returns from inspectors and ascer-
tain and declare the result of cleo
tions. Supervisors, inspectors and
poll clerks are to be divided equally
between the two principal political
parties. The measure is made ap
plitahle only to the States of South
Carolina, Florida, Mississippi and
Louisiana. 1t is elaborately drawn
and contains minute provisions gov
erning the whole matter of registra<
ton and conduct of elections, to-
gether with penalties for election
frauds.
TO an Associated Press reporter
VINO asked tor an explanation of the
theory and purpose of the bill, Mr..
Chandler said, it was drawn under
that clause ofthe constitution which
provides that times, places, and
manner of holding elections for rep>
resentatives in Congress shall be
prescribed in each State by the
Legislature thereof, but Congress
may by law make or alter such reg
ulations. He said the constitutional
power is ample either to pass a
general Law for all States or one ap-
plica bic to number ofStates or a
special law il respect to any par
ticuIar State. In reply to q query
as to his purpose in limiting the
operation of the measure TO four
States he said: 1T is my desire to
secure if possible the passage Of
National election law in those States
where there is manifestly an avowed
suppression ofRepublican sutIerags
In Louisiana Democratic le .ders
declare their intention not
to allow the co!ored people to
vote tho Republican ticket and have
also asserted their intention to set
tie this question without tho siight-
est regard to Northern sentiment On
the subject Hsnce [ think that
both Northern sentiment and in
terests should lead 10 the passage of
laws to limit the suppressing of sut-
frage to elections for State officers
and give us free suffrage for nation
al Offices"
Chandler said his measure did
not cover the Presidential elsctors
for the reason that the constitution
gave no authority tor it He ex-
pressed belief that the bill will
pass the Senate and very probably
pass the House.
